Hi,
I managed to put at "scratch" on my leading edge, don't exactly know how I did it

. The damaged seems to be a series of small dots... doesn't look like it has penetrated through to the other side though

Just wanted to know... does this damaged weaken the edge enough to warrant a repair...or is it more superficial and I should worry about it?

Thanks

If I were you I would repair It.it wont cost much around $20
If you dont there is a chance that the LE bladder may burst through. if the kite crashes hard into the water powered up the pressure can burst through the weekest spot.

Contact your Local shop.

Is this sort of repair best done with a patch on the inside of the leading edge or outside? Can you get away with just an adhisive patch or does it have to be sewn?

What are my options...and which is the most reliable?
I would prefer maybe just a sticky patch on the inside but not at the expense of it coming off and having to get it repaired again.

Thanks
